After successful campaigning in Punjab in the month of January, ‘NoListNoDonation campaign -also called ‘Chanda Bandh Satyagrah’ has gained full momentum in Delhi.

‘Chanda Bandh Satyagrah’ volunteers, who are originally Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) members and volunteers are carrying out the signature drive against Aam Aadmi Party’s backtracking on financial transparency.

They are engaging with the public with one on one interaction, discussing how unregulated funding from unknown sources is the mother to all kinds of corruption and eventually is also responsible for criminalization of politics.

It may be recollected that Dr. Munish Raizada, former co-convenor of AAP NRI wing and convener of Chanda Bandh Satyagraha along with Satyagrahis had gone to Delhi CM and AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal’s home on February 5, 2017 to gift him the holy book ‘Bhagwad Gita’ to remind him of the path of Karmas.

But, Mr. Kejriwal refused to accept the gift from them, reinforcing the fact that he has lost his sense of righteousness. This gift was an effort to make AAP realize the key feature of ‘karma’.

On Feb 8, Chanda Bandh Satyagraha’s representatives along with Dr, Raizada also visited Ralegan Siddhi to meet Anna Hazare, to update him on the progress of the campaign.

After knowing each and every fact of the campaign whether it is the Income Tax Department’s report revealing misappropriation of funds or the hidden and opaque donors’ list, Anna Hazare has reinforced the support to the cause of No List No Donation drive, says Dr. Raizada.

Raizada says that so far, more than 50,000 people have taken a pledge not to donate to AAP until it makes its donations public. The satyagraha has distributed more than 1 lakh handbills to educate the public on the financially opaque practices of AAP.

Launched in December 2016, ‘Chanda Bandh Satyagrah’ is aimed at restoration of the principle of Financial Transparency in AAP. It may be known that AAP claims that it shows each and every donation at its website, while the fact is that the leadership has hidden the donors’ list since June 2016.
